Accessory DC Power Control Module Description and Operation: Location

The 14 V power module, also called the accessory DC power control module, is located in right front of the engine compartment. The 14 V power module is cooled with pre-mixed Dexcool® circulating through a cooling system that is separate from the engine cooling system.

The 14 V power module is an electronic device that takes the place of the generator on a traditional vehicle. On a hybrid or electric vehicle the 14 V power module converts high voltage (355 V) direct current (DC) to low voltage (12 V) DC for accessory electrical operation and to charge the 12 V battery. Under normal conditions, the 14 V power module supplies 12 V DC when the vehicle is On or in Accessory mode.

The 14 V power module is capable of supplying up to 150 Amps of 12 V DC.
